Whisky has scored a decided triumph
over prohibition. 1t has saved a mans
life, when prohibition would have killed
him. The hero of this incident is said to
be a Boston man. He was on the fatal
train which burned up SO MANY people in
Vermont. Arriving at Concord, he stepped
into a saloon to take a drink. The
whisky was good aid he took another pull
at it. Rushing out to board his train, he
saw it disappearing at the rear end of the
depot. A few hours later the White
Plains horror was accomplished. and the
car which this man should have been in
was the one from which not a human being
emerged alive. When he heard of the ter
rible catastr 'phe, did this man fall down
on his knees and swear never to taste
another drop OF liquor? Not he. He
took an oath never to 60 bach on his luck
and to drink on every possible occasion.

The severe structures passed upon Coun-
Gilman Kennedy by several parties for his
vote upon the Registration bill give rise to
the SUSPICION that something besides love
for "honest elections" prompted them.
The cause Of he ill-natured and unjust
remarks of the Inter Mountain concerning
Mr.. Kennedy is readily arrived at. But
why Judge Lippincott should take the
matter so much at heart and denounce
Mr.. Kennedy as Benedict Arnold" can
not be SO readily accounted for. 1t is
hardly possible the Judge would apply
such an opprobrious epithet to a man
because his vote deprived him of a
"fat take as registry agent. And yet it
is susceptible of that Interpretation.

A bill slipped through both Houses OF
the legislature that will close every sa.oon
in Butte at certain times. Under it's pro-
visions the sale of Intoxicating liquors is
prohibited within two miles of any rail
or public works in course OF con-
struction. Repairing highways being a
public work, a strict construction of the
law would shut up all the saloons in
Helena and Butte during the spring, sum-
mer and autumn.

Less than a year ago Mr. Cutting was in
a Mexican dungeon expecting every minute
that 100000 armel Americans would be
coming to his rescue. Now he is an as
sistant editor of a Missouri newspaper,
looking forward to nothing in particular
except the weekly payday. This jump
from a Mexican prison to an editorial
chair is a long one, and it is hard to say
what additional fields Of glory this gentle
man will explore.-Ex.

It was Mr.. Beecher's often expressed
wish that he might die suddenly with the
harness on." He had a strong conviction
of the near approach of death two years
ago, when he began the delivery of a series
OF m which embraced his later
views on the great questions which the
Christian religion has ever presented to
the skeptic. By those sermons he wished
to be judged by posterity. His death was
not painless as he had hoped it wonld be,
but the was as sudden as he
had predicted. and it found him hard at
work.-Chicago Herald.

FAsHIoN NOTES.
The polonaise promises to be . leading
favorite during the season to come and so
many pretty styles have lately been de-
vised that it has every right to the
position.
Heliotrope and orange, jan or russet
with sapphire-blue, scarlet and baby-blue,
silver or turquoise and olive are among the
novel combinations Of colors for evening
toilettes and for bonnet and hat trim
mings.
Among the latest shopping-bags are those
made of lark velvets and plushes over
wrought with gilt or silver, with metal
clasps to harmonic. The handles are
usually made of cords tipped with siIken
balls or tassels.
The Prince of Wales fan, ugly and un-
graceful as it is, has been the ~favorite for
the winter for grand occasions, and it's
reign is likely to continue. Next to this is
the gauze fan in all colors %spangled with
gold, copper or silver. Black gauze mount
ed on sticks the color of it's spangles is the
f%ashioning.
Cross-striped dress fabrics will still b.
made up into untrimmed skirts to accom-
pany ~polonaises, as we'll as other styles nf
upper dresses. which in color will match
the plain stripe between the brocaded
bands. Sometimes killed skirts will be
made of lengthwise striped goods, which
will be folded SO that only the brocade will
be visible.
Collars for silk and velvet dresses are be-
ing made of ribbons the same shade, but
not necessarily the same wearing. They
are folded in points and sewed to a shaped
collar foundation. Ribbon an inch and a
half broad may be cut in lengths that are
twice it's width; one edge is then folded
over at each end toward the middle to
shape a half square, and is then folded
again to a point. Two overlapping rows
of standing points are seen upon the col
ars of some French dresses.

Russia will certainly not remain quiet in
view of the recent events in Bulgaria. The
Moscow Gazette says the last Bulgarian
insurgents "were massacred for protesting
like men against the unhappy, ignominous
state of their country and against it's op-
pressors and %betrayers. Their honorable
death will bring forth events and set his
tory in notion" This probably repre-
sents the average OF Russian opinion, and
means military occupation of Bulgaria.

ty and incorruptibility in one hand and the
unsavery record Of the Republican party

The Radical clubs OF London will cele.
brate the Queens jubilee by issuing a pro.
test against Royalty, which, they claim,
costs the State $4,000. 600 a year. There
is no denying that the Queen does get a
large salary for allowing a chosen few to
kiss her august hand, and now that she is
getting toward 20 years of age, the Radi-
calls are justified in thinking that her rates
(about SIS, 900 a kiss) are exorbitant.

The new License law will doubtless close
mp many Of the small saloons throughout
the Territory. In cities having 5000
inhabitants or over, an annual license OF
$500 must be paid by retailers of iutoxi-
eating liquors. In places having less than
5000 inhabitants a license Of $3.50 is
sxacted. Commercial travellers or drum.
mers must pay 500 a quarter or $500 a
year for the privilege OF selling goods by
sample in the Territory. This license. as
We understand it, must be paid into the
Territorial treasury, no county or munic-
ipal license being required.
